ya, i get the fact that the ones you ordered are the manual ones. what i am asking is this, would it be worth swapping to the manual hubs, and trying to get someone to order them for me, because i live in canada, and amazon will only ship to the states. as i already have the warn auto hubs due to a canadian factory recall on the P.O.S. vacum oem auto hubs.

or should i just wait till my warn auto's crap out and worry about it then?


Personally, from what I have gleaned from this forum, it depends on how you use your Sportage. If your out doing heavy-duty 4x4ing, you may want to switch to the manual ones. If your like me and use it for hunting and light-duty 4x4-ing the automatics will work ok. However it sounds like the Kia stock ones are not very reliable and should be replaced. This is not personal experience, but what I have read on this forum. It sounds like nothing is bullet proof (per logansportage) but I know he uses his a lot. It sounds like Iron has located a great source in Canada ($110, and I assume that is Canadian $) if you decide to change. I think the hassle of having someone buy them for you in the states and then sending them to you wouldn't save that much (less than $1.50 US at the current exchange rate) on the $96.19 price.
